Use Fundamentals to make an investment decision

Fundamental Analysis is a method used to evaluate the worth of a security by studying the financial data of the issuer. But this research can never accurately predict how the company will perform in the stock market.

It can however be used as a good comparative framework to know which company will be a better investment choice.As an investor, you are interested in a corporation's earnings because earnings assure higher dividends and potential for further growth.

You can use profitability ratios to compare earnings for prospective investments. These are measures of performance showing how much the firm is earning compared to its sales, assets or equity.You can quickly see the difference in profitability between two companies by comparing the profitability ratios of each.

Jesse Livermore Said

"The game of speculation is the most uniformly fascinating game in the world. But it is not a game for the stupid, the mentally lazy, the man of inferior emotional balance, or for the get-rich-quick adventurer. They will die poor."
